Description

Immerse yourself in the world of coffee from a professional perspective through a cupping experience in a laboratory setting. In this session, you will learn the basic protocol used by cuppers, roasters, and buyers to assess the quality of coffee. Using a standardized methodology, you will explore how to analyze the fragrance, aroma, taste, acidity, and body of each sample. As part of the experience, you will complete exercises using the “coffee nose,” a sensory tool that will help you recognize and differentiate the aromas present in coffee, developing your olfactory memory in a hands-on way. You will taste several coffees prepared under the same conditions, which will allow you to objectively compare their profiles and understand how small differences influence cup perception. During the experience, you will actively participate in each stage of the process, gaining insight into how coffee is analyzed at a professional level.
